Exhaust brake idea...

Dunno if this has been attempted before, but I have an idea for a manual, cable style pull exhaust brake. Take the exhaust elbow, drill a straight thru set of holes to mount an SS rod and paddle (25/50% constriction) for the braking action. Return spring, mounting, and other hardware are still being thought of.. Momentary button would be mounted in center of pull handle to engage TC.

Which brings me to my next q.. Would this exh elbow for a 2000 auto fit my truck?

i have a 96 auto, hx35.. havent really looked hard at my existing elbow, but I dont want to use that as a gineau pig..

If that wont fit, does anyone have a stock HX-35 elbow they'd be willing to part with? PM me plz..

tnx
